After Diner I went back to my room with a lot on my mind, he told me that he wasn't the Don of the Italian mafia but they were close. He didn't elaborate on what "close" meant which annoyed me to no end.
Before I left for bed he had told me that there was going to be a meeting tomorrow morning to introduce me to the others and to fill me in on their planning.
Finally some action!
After I brushed my teeth and changed into sweats and a large T-shirt I went to bed and only got about 2 hours worth of sleep until the nightmares kicked in.
Insomnia was the worst.
I watched the sun rise taking in the moment of calm that I knew wouldn't last but I still relished it as it might be my last. I thought about everything that happened these past few days and as much as I was cautious about everything and would still look over my shoulder I couldn't help but think maybe this was a breakthrough to my repetitive life of running when shit got too suspicious.
I wanted justice, I've always wanted it but I didn't have the strength or resources but now I do and I sure as hell won't waste them.
I got up from the bed and took a quick shower, brushed my teeth along with my hair then tied it into a ponytail.
I got out of the bathroom and wore my clothes that consisted of black high waist jeans and a large white sweater since it was windy outside.
I walked towards the kitchen only to see Lucas drinking what I assume is a cup of coffee while scrolling on his phone. "Good Morning" I greet Lucas.
He hums in response. An older woman, who I'm guessing is the Housekeeper hands me a cup of coffee, I mumble a thank you as she casts me a smile.
I turn to Lucas, so I can ask him a question that has been bothering me for a while. "Lucas can I ask you a question?" I take a sip of the hot coffee in my hands.
"Save it for the meeting, eat something and meet me in the office in an hour or so." He stands up from his seat and walks away making me sigh.
"Is he always this hard headed?" I ask the woman who was flipping pancakes, I think her name was Silvia.
She laughs, "No actually, you should see the way he behaves with his mother and grandmother. You'd be surprised" she smiles.
She hands me the pancakes and gives me a bottle of syrup and a bowl with scrambled eggs and a glass of orange juice. I couldn't help but feel nostalgic as I remembered the last time I had a full breakfast.
My mom would always say that breakfast was the most important meal of the day and she would make a big breakfast only for the two of us even though it was big enough for 5 people.
I missed her
"Are you okay dear" Silvia asks looking worried.
"Yeah I'm okay Silvia, I was just thinking of something" I smiled, it was strained and fake but it reassure her.
I got to eating the lovely pancakes and chatting with Silvia about absolute nonsense and before I knew it, an hour was up so I walked towards Lucases office.
I knocked on the door then opened it. "You're late" he says not even bothering to look up.
"Sorry I lost track of time" i sat down on the black couch.
"So where are the others?"
"They will be here any minute no-" before he could finish the doors opened revealing a number of people. They were deep in conversation.
"LUCA! MY MAN" A blonde haired man says walking towards Lucas who was watching the group with amusement. There was a total of five, 2 girls and 3 guys. One of the guys being Dante.
"Cousin, thanks for coming"
"Anything for you!" The blonde man says with enthusiasm. "And who might this beauty be" his gaze shifted to me.
"Chris meet Adriana, Adriana this is Christian King, the Don of the Italian mafia and my cousin" an inaudible gasp escapes my lips.
I did not expect that they would be cousins, I didn't even expect the Itailan Mafia Don would be this...playful. I hated not knowing.
"You know we're here too right?" "Introduce us!" A beautiful blonde exclaims, rolling her eyes earning a small chuckle from Lucas, his eyes soft for the first time since my arrival making me wonder just how close he was to the blonde.
"How can I forget, Adriana meet Victoria, Lucy, Noah and you already know Dante" he introduces.
They all were different but yet the same. Dante, Victoria and Chris all had blonde hair but different shades, they were also very enthusiastic people except for Lucy and Noah they were more reserved.
Lucy and Noah looked alike with their dark brown hair and honey brown eyes making me believe that they were twins.
I greet them with a cautious face. I don't trust easily, they could easily be working with the enemy.
"Now that you've met the team, I know you have questions. This is your only opportunity." Lucas says, his face back to being cold and indifferent.
"I thought you worked for justice? Why are you associated with the Mafia nevermind him being your cousin."
"Family comes first. Even though I somewhat do good I will go to any ends even if it means killing for my family. Plus I help Chris get out of trouble with the government and the police." He shrugs.
I hum in response. "So what exactly is the plan. Who are these people and how will they help." I ask.
"Well Victoria is a good fighter and can get herself out of any situation, Dante is my right hand man and is excellent with the blade, Lucy and Noah are the brains and mostly work with computers and lastly Chris, will be supplying us with guns, blades, and a number of his man." Lucas explains.
I nod my head. "We all work for Chris beside Dante of course" Victoria chirps in casting me a bright smile.
"And the plan?"
"Noah can you fill her in" Lucas asks Noah who was staring at me strangely.
"Um..yes. I hacked into the database of one of Antonio's branches in New York and found a man by the name of George Hains, he works as the manger of the branch in New York. Apparently today is his night off so he plans to go to club Mike this evening.
The plan is really simple. One of you ladies approach him, get him outside knock him out and bring him here so we can get information about Antonio's whereabouts or any information that could potentially help us"
"That of course is phase one of the plan" he adds.
"And that's where you come in Adriana, you and Victoria will head to the club and do just That. You will have ear pieces incase something goes wrong." Lucas says.
"Okay then, Lets get this party started"
